EQUIPPERS NETWORK LAUNCH

Hello and thanks, to all those who have served as catalyst in my life to setup this Blog. Your encouragement, urging and exhortations have born fruit.I am captivated by the unfolding wonder and mystery of God’s work among His people in our day and in every generation of believers since Jesus came and began to establish His kingdom on the earth through this group of people who are identified as followers of Jesus the Messiah or the Christ. I will use a variety of terms to describe this group of people. The term ‘Church’ will only be used when the context allows for a clear understanding of what we are discussing. This is necessary because the term ‘Church’ has come to mean something lifeless, useless and corrupt in the minds of many people.

The hope that you and I hold is that this Blog will become a useful tool in equipping those who have and will accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and who hunger for the promises of His Word to be fulfilled in them through the working of His Spirit. Part of the vision for this Equippers Network is to have people from multiple streams of the Body of believers contributing to the discussion either directly or through links to what they have to contribute.

The promises God has made are not for a select few, but for all who will call on Him and give their life to Him. This Blog is a place to learn, to consider what is contributed and interact with each other concerning the understandings and insights God is giving each one for the benefit of us all.It is my hope that it will also serve as a catalyst to those who read it to press into God and get all that He has for them.

I would like us all to adopt the attitude and response of the people of Berea as described in Acts 17:11-12.11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul's message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to check up on Paul and Silas, to see if they were really teaching the truth. 12 As a result, many Jews believed, as did some of the prominent Greek women and many men.From the N L T.

If you want to offer a differing point of view or have something to add to the discussion please do so in a constructive, positive manner and please support your position with scripture.THIS BLOG IS NOT A PLACE TO DEBATE, ARGUE OR ACCUSE ONE ANOTHER!
